TENG is a promising method to convert mechanical energy from motion into electrical energy. The combination of textile and TENG successfully enables wearable, self-driving electronics and sensor systems. As the primary unit of textiles, fiber and yarn become the focus of research in designing of textile-TENGs. In this review, we introduced the preparation, structure, and design strategy of fiber/yarn TENGs in recent research. We discussed the structure design and material selection of fiber/yarn TENGs according to the different functions it realizes. The fabrication strategy of fiber/yarn TENGs into textile-TENG are provided. Finally, we summarize the main applications of existing textile TENGs and give forward prospects for their subsequent development.}, number={24}, journal={SENSORS}, author={Chen, Yu and Ling, Yali and Yin, Rong}, year={2022}, month={Dec} }

However, the fabrication of Textile-based TENGs remains a great challenge due to complex fabrication processes, low production speed, high cost, poor electromechanical properties, and limited design capacities. Here, we reported a new route to develop Textile-based TENGs with a facile, low-cost, and scalable embroidery technique. 5-ply ultrathin enameled copper wires, low-cost commercial materials, were utilized as embroidery materials with dual functions of triboelectric layers and electrodes in the Textile-based TENGs. A single enameled copper wire with a diameter of 0.1 mm and a length of 30 cm can produce over 60 V of open-circuit voltage and 0.45 µA of short circuit current when in contact with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fabric at the frequency of 1.2 Hz and the peak value of contact force of 70 N. Moreover, the triboelectric performance of enameled copper wire after plasma treatment can be better than that without plasma treatment, such as the maximum instantaneous power density can reach 245 μW/m which is ∼ 1.5 times as much as the untreated wire. These novel embroidery TENGs possess outstanding triboelectric performance and super design capacities. A 5 × 5 cm2 embroidery sample can generate an open-circuit voltage of 300 V and a short circuit current of 8 μA under similar contact conditions. The wearable triboelectric embroidery can be employed in different parts of the wear. A self-powered, fully fabric-based numeric keypad was designed based on triboelectric embroidery to serve as a human-machine interface, showing good energy harvesting and signal collection capabilities. Therefore, this study opens a new generic design paradigm for textile-based TENGs that are applicable for next-generation smart wearable devices.}, journal={NANO ENERGY}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Chen, Yu and Chen, Erdong and Wang, Zihao and Ling, Yali and Fisher, Rosie and Li, Mengjiao and Hart, Jacob and Mu, Weilei and Gao, Wei and Tao, Xiaoming and et al.}, year={2022}, month={Dec} }

Recently, many ring-based modifications have been developed to improve yarn productivity and properties. In this work, a modified ring spinning technique has been developed by feeding three-roving strands into a conventional ring frame for producing yarns with better performance. A strand delivery guide with different spacings (1–5 mm) was used for the production of three-strand yarns. The quantitative relationships between the spinning parameters and yarn properties have been systematically investigated. The properties of the modified yarns were evaluated, including yarn tensile properties, evenness, and hairiness, and the statistical relationships were obtained by least squares polynomial fitting. The experimental results indicate that the guide spacing and twist multiplier significantly influence the yarn properties. The spinning triangle of the modified yarns resembles Solospun yarns, suggesting supreme yarn abrasion performance. }, journal={TEXTILE RESEARCH JOURNAL}, author={Ling, Yali and Henson, Claire and West, Andre and Yin, Rong}, year={2022}, month={Nov} }
